I painted a giant!
One of my all time favourite models, the original plastic giant is the epitome of Warhammer Fantasy. Admittedly, this one is modelled as a Chaos giant, so not exactly the classic, but still pretty damn amazing. It was also a test in painting a large model almost entirely in oils. Oil paint, I imagined, would help achieve the smooth transitions I wanted for the skin. I'd say the result is a resounding success!
Somehow I managed to take most of my photos with a cooler white balance instead of the warmer tones that better reflect what the model looks like in person. The weird part is I didn't even change my lighting set up in between. Anyway, these two show better how warm the colours actually are, which I think is more attractive. Speaking of lighting set ups, these were all taken with my new photography lamps, which make such a difference to the photos!
Until next time, happy painting!
